Hi folks, we’re managing a museum where se don’t issue tickets to avoid being taxed. But we can accept donations which are not taxable. I was wondering if there was sonlme self hosted tool out there that would help us record the donation and maybe even allow us to print a receipt for the visitor so that they can claim tax relief on the donation. If the tool could also help us track the sales of souvenirs, that would be a bonus.

A till.

And an accounting package.

No hosting required.

How many of these donations are you processing per minute? Are they mostly cash, credit card, or what? If credit card, your payment processor likely has a category for donations, as well as different types of sale. These days they can usually email a receipt or print on on the payment terminal. I don’t see much self-hosted software in this.

They are mostly cash. On average 5-10/day over a 5 hrs day.

Pen and paper then. Too many computers.

Yeah at that rate if you actually should be involving a computer you’re best off in a spreadsheet or maaaaybe a database frontend like saltcorn.

Microsoft Excel. LibreOffice Calc if you hate yourself.

I’m being serious. You don’t sound like you need anything fancier than that.
